What colours go with green?

The colour green is said to have a calming effect, which is why it is suitable for every mood and every occasion. In classical colour theory, green is a secondary colour, as the hue is created by mixing the primary colours blue and yellow. When combining green, it therefore always depends on the shade – on the one hand there are yellowish green tones such as olive, grass green or dark bottle green, on the other hand there are cool nuances with a blue tint, including mint and petrol.

Green is predestined to be combined with its complementary colour red (= opposite colours in the colour wheel), as this naturally creates great contrasts.

Komplementärfarben: Grün und Rot

Stop wondering what goes with green and let us inspire you:
  • Spring-like combinations are created by combining mint + white or sky blue + cream
  • For eye-catching looks, green can be combined very well with bright colours. Colour blocking works with grass green + pink, forest green + orange or bottle green + red, for example
  • Never combine green with blue? That's old hat! Analogous colours such as green and blue (= colours next to each other on the colour wheel) can be combined very well. The mix of the two colours is a fashionable classic that can always be interpreted in a modern way.

Green and Blue

  1. Apple green + dark blue: blouse and trousers in rich apple green with an elegant blazer jacket in navy blue are ideal for leisure and the office. A blue blazer can also be combined with a green dress.

  2. Green top + blue skirt: Wear a bright top in grass green with a simple denim skirt – this creates both a contrasting and harmonious look.

  3. Accents in blue and green: A beautiful scarf in both colours is a fashion statement that doesn't immediately dominate the whole look.

Green and White

    1. Green as a base: Use green items of clothing as a base for your outfit, such as a green culotte or an A-line skirt, which you can combine with white cardigans, tops and blouses.

    1. Add white accents: Add white elements to a monochrome look in green to fill it with life. For example, a jade green trouser suit goes well with modern sling-back ballerinas in white.

    2. Break things up with stripes: A green and white striped blouse with flared jeans in bright lime green or plain white is perfect for spring.

    Combining green with green

    Monochrome doesn’t have to be monotonous! When combining monochrome outfits in green, either stick to the same shade or choose pieces with the greatest possible contrast. Grass green combined with fresh lime green will put you in a good mood at first sight, while dark green ensembles in khaki always look elegant, even as homewear.

    Modern trouser suits are predestined for monochrome trend styles. Blazers and trousers in the same shade are a real eye-catcher, while a patterned shirt or blouse in a different shade breaks up the look.

    A combination of different green tones with a beautiful print looks really harmonious. The colours support each other and form a wonderful unity, making such looks really successful.

    Wie kombiniert man die Farbe Mintgrün

    Combining light green tones

    Delicate shades of green such as mint green, sage, jade or apple green are THE trend colours for spring, as our eyes are longing for bright, fresh colours after the long winter. Looking for styling ideas?
    1. mint green 7/8 jeans with a striped shirt and a white cardigan, teamed with black V-neck ballerinas or light-coloured trainers.

    2. all-over lime green: a metallic-look jacket is an eye-catcher in an otherwise simple knitted look with a green top and wide trousers.

    3. apple green always puts you in a good mood, whether as a light jumper, T-shirt or jeans. Yellow and ecru go well with it.

    Combining dark green tones

    Khaki, petrol and olive green are the perfect compromise, especially in the transitional period: Not too in your face, but still in the direction of “Hey, there is more out there than just black and brown.”

    The choice is yours: tone-on-tone with a shirt blouse and trousers to loosen up a print shirt or as a calm basis for your spring looks? A modern short coat in dark green harmonises perfectly with knitted jumpers, cardigans or trousers in light pastel colours such as yellow, pink and dove blue.

    The trend colour khaki still brings along an air of army charm, because the tan colour was originally intended as camouflage for soldiers and scouts. But with attractive dark colour tones such as khaki and olive green, hiding is the last thing you will want to do!

    Styling tips for green

    Chic skirts and blazers in green are especially eye-catching at formal occasions, while in terms of casual looks we can pep things up with dresses, jumpers and jackets in pale tones. Either way: green tones ensure a great splash of colour in any outfit!

    Casual outfits with green

    Versatile green tones play a particularly important role in casual looks. The trend colours for spring include lime green, mint and apple green, which are perfect for the transitional season.

    In spring 2024, we particularly like colour combinations with light green and combine these with bright yellow, neutral off-white or light cream.

    Looking for a styling idea? A green and white patterned blouse shirt with white linen trousers is casual, chic and perfect for warm days. White trainers and a light jacket that picks up on one of the colours go well with it.

    Grünen Rock festlich kombinieren: Outfit Idee von GERRY WEBER

    Green on festive occasions

    1. Choose elegant shades of green – such as jade green, forest green, fir green or emerald green.

    2. Combine green dresses: A green silk or satin midi dress can be an eye-catching yet elegant choice for festive occasions. Make sure that the cut and length are appropriate for the occasion. Combine the festive dress with blazers and accessories in neutral colours such as white, beige or silver.

    3. No pattern mania: Prints are great, and floral patterns in particular are ideal for festive occasions such as weddings in spring. Make sure that the pattern is subtle so that the look doesn't appear too garish or overloaded.

    What goes with green trousers?

    Green trousers are a great piece to have in your wardrobe, particularly in spring and summer! They are stylish with white printed tops, but also work well with tunics, blouses and tops in red, pale brown or yellow.

    Our tip: to liven up your office look a little, pair a patterned piece with a plain-coloured one. This breaks up the look and ensures an exciting look.

    What goes with a green top?

    Jumpers, T-shirts and tops in green add great highlights and are versatile pieces to mix and match. In terms of colour coordination, you can’t go wrong with trousers and skirts in white, beige and dark blue; however, you can also be a little braver and try combinations with pastel colours such as pink or sunshine yellow!

    Our tip for the new season: Stripes are celebrating a big comeback and have an especially modern look in green and white. With a white blouse underneath and a dark blue pair of chinos, you have a great layering look which you can adjust layer by layer to the weather as required.

    To sum up: How to style green

    Hopefully we have been able to answer the question of “What goes with green?” As a general rule, radiant green tones such as grass green and soft mint green are especially beautiful in spring and summer in combination with yellow, orange or white. Feel-good outfits such as grass green jeans paired with a white off-the-shoulder blouse or a mint green top paired with a sunshine yellow midi skirt will be sure to put a smile on anyone’s face! In the cold seasons, on the other hand, you will really stand out in dark green tones alongside red or brown. Fir green cardigans paired with brown corduroy trousers or a warm quilted coat in forest green worn over a dress in spicy tabasco will guarantee you a stylish autumn and winter outfit!

    Either way: green is so versatile, which means you will have no problems toning your colour palette up and down to suit the occasion. So go ahead and start with your favourite green tone and try out some of the more courageous combinations which you haven’t been brave enough for yet!
